This is absolutely the latest thing, and
promises 10 be very popular among
Young people Considerable skill must
Be exercised in selecting the guests,
and lazy people, above all, must be

courses must be regulated by the num-
Der Of guests. We will suppose that
forty young people are invited, making
twenty couples, In which case ten Ia

served.
Ten Of the twenty ladies present are
chosen by the hostess TO act as hostess

Spreckle Of San Francisco, a nephew of
Claus Spreckles, the sugar king" of the
Sandwich Islands, is in the city. He was
for eight years attached to the royal house,
hold of the Hawaiian king. Said he to-day:
VI think the Hawaiian king will be deposed
inside of year, and republic set up in the
islands Kalakaua's pretty court is modelled
after that OF the British queen, and the
people are tired Of paying for this mimic
royalty, which costs quite as much as the
genuine article. The king himself is popu-
lar for his hale-fellow. well-met style, and
that is all that keeps him on his throne. His
majesty can be seen in front of the bar of

will pay for it. The new ministry just
formed in the islands is the first step toward
the formation of the republic"

RUSSIA ATTRACTING TIE ATTEN-
TON OF ALL THE OTHER POWERS.

The Tone Of the French Press Toward the
Cars Government Likely to Take a
Sudden and Sweeping Change-Ferdi-
nAnd Selects Prime MinIster-Notos.
LONDON, Aug 31.-The tone of the French
press toward Russia is quite likely to take a
speedy and sweeping change, for their pres
ent temper is not at all indicative of the
real sentiment entertained by the politicians,
statesmen and journalists Of the republic in
regard to the northern power The caress-
ing and depreoatory language common to
the Parisian press from the Debats to the
Soir but thinly vel the anxiety felt as to
the future course of the czars empire and
the real sentiment OF his advisers.
The fear aud indignation with which they
observe Russia cOquettlng with Germany
now and chen give place to hope and gratu-
lation, when such incident as a German
batting in Russia seems to strain beyond en-
durance the relations between tho two en-
pires, but conviction is gradually possessing
the French mind chat Germany can outbid
France in the rivalry for Russian alliance,
and that the czar's government would not
hesitate long were the Mucovite power
compelled to chose between the two ma
tions
There is without doubt an intense dislike
of German emigrants felt by the lower and
middle class of Russians, who cannot COM
pete with the Germans either as skilled
laborers or as traders but the German ele-
ment eau be quietly boyGotted in Russia
without giving the victims any opportunity
for serious complaint, since it is not probable
that any further manifestations of Russian
hatred for German competition involving
force or violent expulsion will be permitted
by the authorities.

papers are eagerly awaiting possible diff
ference between Germany and Russia over
the Bulgarian question, but it is not likely
that they will have an opportunity to dis.
play their talent for fine writing upon the
subject. Russia seems to be abundantly
able to shape the policy of the nations
around her by simply keeping quiet and
awaiting the gravation of events. She can
at any time place herself in position to
rely implicitly upon the friendship Of Ger
many by giving that nation guarantee of
Russian neutrality in case of war between
Germany and France, and if Ferdinand does
not speedily display proper amount of
subserviency the porte, at the instance Of
the czar, can make i6 extremely uncomfort
able for the Bulgarian adyenturer without
fear that Germany will interfere in his be-
half. II Russia can be assured of the neu-
trality of Germany in Bulgaria, and it is
thus seen that she can, she has no vital need

Anxiety to SEQ Mrs. Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-There seems to
be a general anxiety on the part Of the pub
lie to see'Mrs. Cleveland. People who saw
her during the return trip from New Eng
land say the crowding and anxiety to gaze
upon her was simply disgraceful. On the
boat the people stumbled over each other
and crowded upon her as though she were
some inmate Of the menagerie. Women
even went so far as to go and open the door
of her stateroom and look in, and then apol-
ogize for their rudeness by telling lie and
saying they thought it was somebody else's
room. When she went to dinner on the
boat there was such rush for the table
that it was necessary to put guards at the
door to keep back the crowd.
Even here where she has now lived for
more than year, she is the center of obser-
vation when she goes out shopping or for
other purposes She Is quite fond Of shop
ping and is great favorite with the local
dealers, and she always buys the best line
OF goods without paying fancy prices. She

ARCHBISHOP coRRlcAN pEFlED.
Members of German Protestant Church
Rebel Against His Latest Order.

RoNDoUT, N Y, Aug. 3l.-Archbishop
Corrigan is determined thai German Cath
olics shall neither dance nor drink beer at
picnics held under the auspices of the church
after 6 o'clock in the evening. The men,
bers OF the Sick and Aid society of st.
Peters German Protestant church arranged
to hold festival here last evening" Sunday
the assistant priest of st. Peters, Father
Liebhausen, read from the altar a letter
from the archbishop stating that if the
picnic was held no beer must be sold and
that there should be no dancing permitted.
Despite the warning the picnic was held,
beer was drank and dancing went on. The
Germans say they have always drank beer
and danced when they felt like it, and yet
have been faithful to the church
IL was in St Peters church that there was
war for year or so between congregation
and chief priest REV. Father Sieglack),
which ended in the priests removal The
defiance Of the archbishop's order causes
comment in church circles, following, as it
does, close upon the heels of the non-com

being forbidden to do 80 by the Very Rev.
